Re: [MRBS-general] Ethics Question

[Nathan S. <nj...@gm...>]

Great idea, a lot of places could really benefit from systems such as the
MRBS. but just lack the technical expertise to get it all going.

Definitely not an un-ethical practice, if you are seriously worried about
it, just ensure that the places which request more information are informed
that they are paying for your technical expertise, time and the resources of
having the server, and not for the actual software itself. Perhaps even make
it an "open-source hosting" package.

I hope you are successful with your enterprise.
